The Hisbah Board in Jigawa has deployed no fewer than 1,223
of its operatives for the forthcoming Eid-el-Fitr celebration in the state, and
has vowed to go after Muslims engaged in “immoral activities”.
The Hisbah Commander in the state, Ibrahim Dahiru, made this
known to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Dutse on Sunday.
Mr Dahiru said the operatives would synergise with other
security agencies in the state to provide adequate security during the festive
period.
He explained that the operatives were also expected to
assist in crowd and traffic control during the period, adding that the
personnel had been advised to act professionally in the discharge of their
duties.
“Also, residents are advised to be law abiding and behave in
orderly manner so as to ensure peaceful
and hitch-free celebration.
“We’re using this opportunity to warn residents that our men
will go after anyone that engages in immoral activities and other social vices
such as Dj dance, Gala, as well as sale and use of fireworks, popularly known
as ‘knock out’,” the commander warned.
Dahiru, therefore, advised parents and guardians to monitor
the movements of their wards during the festivity in order not to be involved
in acts capable of disturbing public peace.
